The producer

In 1930, a confectioner named Alkiviadis Kalabokis, a refugee from Smyrna, settled in Sitia, on the island of Crete. At his pastry shop, Sitia residents and visitors had the chance to taste unique sweet and ice cream delights, prepared with meticulous care, from pure ingredients and based on time - cherished, traditional recipes from Constantinople. In 1950, Alkiviadis’ son, Fokion Kalabokis, took over the family business and set product standardization afoot, while retaining their traditional character. In 1985, the third family generation, Alkiviadis and Christoforos Kalabokis took over, and continued the confectionery artistry following the family's tradition. All Dear Crete products are based on the same quality of taste and have accompanied the daily and social activities of the Cretan people through the ages.
